Adopting technology is important, but blind adoption is different than logical application of Technology. When I see it – looks like everyone wants to fit the tech-term anywhere in the test process and call it tech-driven QA. But how do you measure the ROI from client perspective? Do you compare Super-Tech.QA vs. Functional QA? Or Super-tech-tools are cheaper than the required man power? Nah! Everyone says “All these are long-term benefits, no short-term advantage”, but then eventually forget to measure the ROI in the long run as well 😛 On the other hand, due to all this fuss we have somewhere neglected the original Tester.

Defect tracking is a testing-critical strategy that QA engineers utilize to understand the loopholes in the product’s quality and what further improvements it requires to reach the desired results. Software testing has to be intuitive and vast, and thus it has to be logical and yields measureable results. That’s the reason why the success of SDLC greatly depends on accurate bug tracking. In this domain, a fine defect tracking tool is crucial in software testing activities to streamline bug reporting, while accelerating delivery silos.

Recently one of my LinkedIn discussion gained much traction. Although I don’t know the reason – may be it was uncommon OR way too common among testing enthusiasts. The post got reactions from the who-and-who of the QA world – ranging from Testers to Managers up to VP Products. So thought of sharing the insights to a larger audience via a blog post. In this article, we will look at the options available to a QA team if there are ‘way too many’ defects in the application. Here we go…
